Shallow-Water Acoustic Communications Channel Modeling Using Three-Dimensional Gaussian Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent progress in the development of a physics-based numerical propagation model for the virtual transmission of acoustic communication signals in shallow water is presented. The ultimate objective is to provide for the prediction of the output of the quadrature detector (QD, an analog of the discrete Fourier transform) in a time-variant, doubly dispersive, shallow-water channel. Current model development concentrates on the modeling of the QD response in the presence of rough boundaries, reserving inclusion of effects caused by a time-varying sea surface or source/receiver motion to future implementations. Three-dimensional Gaussian beam tracing is used so that outof-plane reflections from rough surfaces or sloping bathymetry can be adequately modeled. Model predictions of the impulse response for a real shallow-water environment are observed to agree well with measured impulse responses.

Measurements and Modeling Comparisons of Underwater Communications Performance at three Shallow-Water Sites
Large differences in performance of underwater acoustic communications were found when looking at results from three shallow water sites. Using acoustic modeling, these channel responses are simulated and communications performance predictions are made. Ray based modeling is used to determine the mechanisms in the environment causing differences in bit error rates. Experimental results for the ...
متن کاملA high-frequency warm shallow water acoustic communications channel model and measurements.
Underwater acoustic communication is a core enabling technology with applications in ocean monitoring using remote sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles. One of the more challenging underwater acoustic communication channels is the medium-range very shallow warm-water channel, common in tropical coastal regions. This channel exhibits two key features-extensive time-varying multipath and hi...
متن کاملImplementation of an adaptive burst DQPSK receiver over shallow water acoustic channel
In an environment such as underwater channel where placing test equipments are difficult to handle, it is much practical to have hardware simulators to examine suitably designed transceivers (transmitter/receiver). The simulators of this kind will then allow researchers to observe their intentions and carry out repetitive tests to find suitable digital coding/decoding algorithms. In this p...

In this paper, the low cost home-made underwater sensors are designed for underwater Acoustics Sensor Network. This system is used to read the values of pressure, temperature and salinity using these sensors under the water and then the values are transmitted from underwater sensor to base station receiver. The sensors are continuously reading these values. Here, the communication channel estim...
متن کاملAcoustic Channel Modeling and Simulation for Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensing Networks
Underwater acoustic channels are band-limited and reverberant, posing many obstacles to reliable, phase-coherent acoustic communications. In terrestrial wireless sensor networks, the nodes use radio frequency (RF) to build up the communication. In underwater environments, due to water absorption, radio wave does not work well. Compared to radio waves, sound has superior propagation characterist...
